<p>
Think. Inspire. Motivate. This is the broader vision of TIMtalks, a forum for passionate students to share powerful ideas. TIMTalks is a chance for you to tell us what inspires you and drives your passion. Action speaks more than academics. Through a reflective story about your experiences and knowledge on a topic, share something with us that means something to you. Why should it matter to others? How has your experience at MIT played a role in defining this passion? What obstacles did you face, and how did you overcome them? We seek people with a broad vision, energy, and unique perspective. Take this as an opportunity to present a focused narrative of your thoughts, inspirations, and motivations.
</p>
<p>
Applications will be due by <span class="bold">11:59 pm on Friday, April 20th</span>. All applicants will be notified of their status via email by Monday, April 30th.  Selected students will have the opportunity to work with a professional writing and presentation staff to brainstorm ideas, refine materials such as a script and visual aids, and rehearse prior to their presentation.
The TIMtalks' inaugural session will be held on <span class="bold">May 16th from 6-8pm</span>. All talks will be professionally recorded and produced by MIT Academic Media Production Services, and will be shared on our website as well as through other MIT media sources.
</p>
<p>
If you would like to <span class="bold">nominate</span> a student to give a TIMtalk, please email <span class="bold">timtalks[at]mit[dot]edu</span> with the name, class year, and email address of the student. We will then send a request to the nominated student to submit an application. We are accepting nominations from the MIT and broader communities. 
</p> 
<p>

 <LABEL for="audio">TIMtalks are meant to be engaging, prepared talks that will inspire a broad audience. For selected speakers, TIMtalks will be an opportunity to improve writing and presentation skills. As such, we hope to get a sense of your presentation style. We request that you record and upload a brief audio pitch (no more than 2 minutes). This audio pitch should not be an oration of your abstract, but should instead develop a key idea of your talk.
Please note: The Public Service Center has voice recorders available on loan. Please contact <a href="mailto:timtalks@mit.edu">timtalks@mit.edu</a> if you would like to borrow a voice recorder for this purpose.</LABEL>
